McCartney marks 80th birthday with Springsteen, 60,000 pals

Paul McCartney performs during his 'Got Back' tour Thursday, June 16, 2022, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. Hard to think of a better way for Paul McCartney to celebrate his 80th birthday than by singing "Glory Days" onstage with Bruce Springsteen or being serenaded by some 60,000 well-wishers.

Like several other members of the "hope I die before I get old" generation, including Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones and former Beatles mate Ringo Starr, McCartney keeps working, keeps sharing his music from the stage. Another 1960s icon, Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys, is scheduled to play at the Starlight Theatre in Kansas City on his 80th birthday Monday.

The skill of a sympathetic band, along with the imagination and voices in the audience, patches over the rough spots. That other Jersey guy, Springsteen, joined McCartney for the duet on "Glory Days" and a version of "I Wanna Be Your Man." He later popped up to join the guitar duel from "Abbey Road." David Crosby and Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys both chose "Eleanor Rigby." Master showman Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips picked "Magical Mystery Tour." Steve Earle selected "Every Night," while Def Leppard's Joe Elliott went against type with the gentle "Little Lamb Dragonfly." Mac DeMarco picked the "Ram" epic, "The Back Seat of My Car.

With the help of Peter Jackson, who reimagined the "Get Back" sessions for last year's television project, McCartney was able to perform a virtual "duet" with Lennon singing his part of "I've Got a Feeling" from the Apple rooftop concert. McCartney also paid tribute to George Harrison, who died in 2001, with a version of "Something" that began with Paul on a ukulele George gave him and built to a full band version.
